What The Bleep Do We Know Page #4

and how they react?

Is this then the observer?

[ Man ] In my modeling,

the observer is the spirit...

inside the four-layer biobodysuit.

And so, it's like

the ghost in the machine.

It is the consciousness

that's driving the vehicle...

and it is observing

the surround.

The four layers of the biobodysuit

have all kinds of sensory systems...

to pick up signatures

from the surround.

Where the hell are you?

I've got a studio full of people...

but, oh, my God.!

There's no photographer.

Where, oh, where

can she be?

Aliens?

Loch Ness monster?

Or a hot date?

In Washington, D.C., the so-called

murder capital of the world...

there was a big experiment

in the summer of 1993...

where 4,000 volunteers came

from a hundred countries...

to collectively meditate for long periods

of time throughout the day.

It was predicted in advance

that with such a sized group...

you would have a 25% drop

in violent crime...

as defined by the F.B.I.

in Washington that summer.

Well, the chief of police

went on television saying that...

''Look. It's gonna

take two feet of snow...

to reduce crime by 25% in

Washington, D.C. this summer.''

But by the end, the police department became

a collaborator and author of this study...

because the results in fact showed a 25%

drop in violent crime in Washington, D.C....

which we could predict

on the basis of 48 previous studies...

that had already been done

on a smaller scale.

This leads naturally

to wonder do people--

are people affecting the world

of reality that they see?

You betcha they are.

Every single one of us

affects the reality that we see...

even if we try to hide

from that and play victim.

We all are doin' it.

Just tell me

where you are.

Good. But hurry,

will ya, please?

- Because these models

are giving me a headache.

- Ten minutes!

[ Woman ] Our subway exhibit comes to us

from Japan and Mr. Masaru Emoto.

Mr. Emoto became

terribly interested...

in the molecular structure

of water and what affects it.

Now, water is the most receptive

of the four elements.

Mr. Emoto thought perhaps

it would respond to nonphysical events.

So he set up a series of studies,

applied mental stimuli...

and photographed it with

a dark field microscope.

This first picture is a picture

of water from the Fujiwara Dam.

And this picture

is the same water...

after receiving a blessing

from a Zen Buddhist monk.

Now in this next

series of pictures...

Mr. Emoto printed out words,

taped them to bottles of distilled water...

and left them out overnight.

This first photograph is the picture

of the pure distilled water--

just the essence

of itself.

These subsequent photographs,

as you can see, are each different.

This is the

''Chi of Love.''

And we move along here

to ''Thank You. ''

And you can see where he taped that,

uh, to this bottle here.

But if you read Japanese,

you already knew that. [ Chuckles ]

Now, Mr. Emoto speaks of

the thought or intent...

being the driving force

in all of this.

The science of how that actually

affects the molecules is unknown...

except to the water molecules,

of course.

And it's really fascinating

when you keep in mind...

that 90% of our bodies

are water.

Makes you wonder,

doesn't it?

If thoughts can do that

to water...

imagine what our thoughts

can do to us.

[ Train Approaching ]

Absolutely thought alone

can completely change the body.

Most people don't affect reality

in a consistent, substantial way...

because they don't

believe they can.

They write an intention...

and then they erase it,

because they think that's silly--

I mean-- I can't do that. And then they

write it again, and then they erase it.

So time average,

it's a very small effect.

And it really comes down to the fact that

they believe they can't do it.

If you accept with every

rudiment of your being...

that you will walk on water,

will it happen?

Yes, it will.

But you know, it's, uh--

it's like positive thinking.

It's a wonderful idea,

positive thinking...

but what it usually means is that I have

a little smear of positive thinking...

covering a whole mass

of negative thinking.

So thinking positive is

not really thinking positive.

It's just disguising the negative thinking

that we have.

When we think of things, then we make

the reality more concrete than it is...

and that's why we become stuck.

We become stuck

in the sameness of reality.

Because if reality is concrete, obviously,

I am insignificant. I cannot really change it.

But if reality is my possibility--

possibility of consciousness itself--

then immediately comes the question

of how can I change it?

How can I make it better?

How can I make it happier?

You see how we are extending

the image of ourselves?

In the old thinking,

I cannot change anything...

because I don't have

any role at all in reality.

Reality is already there. It's material

objects moving in their own way...

from deterministic laws...

and mathematics determines

what they will do in a given situation.

I, the experiencer,

have no role at all.

In the new view, yes,

mathematics can give us something.

It gives us the possibilities

that all these movements can assume.

But it cannot give us the actual experience

that I'll be having in my consciousness.

I choose that experience.

And therefore, literally,

I create my own reality.

It may sound like a tremendous,

bombastic claim by some New Agey...

without any understanding

of physics whatsoever...

but really quantum physics

is telling us that.

[ Door Closes ]

Hey!

How was the shoot?

Sucked. [ Sighs ]

- ^^ [ Continues ]

- [ Stomps ]

Your boss called.

He's worried about you.

^^ [ Ends ]

Amanda, I wanna thank you

for letting me stay here.

I know I'm a bit much sometimes...

and that it's been tough after Bob and all.

[ Raspberries, Laughs ]

And, um,you'vejust

been so wonderful.

I mean, I make a mess and--

Well, I clean up afterwards,

but it's not really your style.

Sometimes I think

you make me sane.

Me? [ Laughs ]

The day I make someone sane,

they're in trouble. [ Laughs ]

Anyway, um...

I made you something

as a thank-you gift.

Open it.

I went through your pictures

and picked my favorite ones.

And it took me forever because there are

so many good ones. [ Laughs ]

This--

That's for all the wonderful photos

you will be taking.

- Oh!

- I've had a strange day.

Thank you.

[ Voices Overlapping, Echoing ]

What is my life? Why is your life?

What is the purpose of life?

Where am I going?

What happens when I die?

- Why is there anything at all?

- What is reality?

[ Man At Exhibit ]

It makes you wonder, doesn't it?
